If you're an Ale drinker, it's probably worth me mentioning the Crown Posada too. It's still in th city centre, but down towards the Quayside http://www.pubsnewcastle.co.uk/CrownPosada.html
I think it's the narrowest bar in Newcastle.

The Crown Posada was really nice when I went in there for the first time last week...but I would avoid it unless you like ridiculous treks uphill back to the venue  The venue is really central though so there are plenty of bars around and places to go etc.

Nice interview.
MANIC Street Preachers play an intimate gig at Newcastle’s O2 Academy 2 on Monday. It’s for competition winners only, run through their record label, Columbia, and Metro Radio. James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire and Sean Moore have been together for almost 25 years and in that time have produced nine highly acclaimed albums, toured the world several times and chalked up a lengthy list of Top 20 singles. The band’s tenth album Postcards From A Young Man came out this week. Here they answer some questions prior to Monday’s gig. What kind of city is Newcastle for you from your past experiences? Nicky: “Loads of good times and loads of good shops.” JAMES: “There’s the Strawberry pub. Both our sound men went to Newcastle Uni and our sound manager, who is from Newcastle, used to take us to that pub, which was near a studio we were working in. He used to tell us it was the pub in Get Carter, but I am not sure if he was just making that up. Everywhere we went, I thought I was recognising scenes from Get Carter.” NICKY: “On the This Is My Truth tour we played the Arena there and they gave us a certificate for having the biggest crowd ever and I have still got that at home. Someone will have probably broken that record now but it was cool at the time.” It is going to be a crowd made up of fans who have gone to that extra effort to win their tickets. What is it like to know you will have your hardcore fans all in the same place? JAMES: “Our hardcore crowd are very fastidious judges so when I sing a wrong lyric or if I say something on stage that makes no sense they pick you up on it straight away. It is a wee bit scary, a bit like being in front of a panel of judges.” NICKY: “Intimidating but great. What has sustained us for so long is always that need to prove to ourselves and our fans that we have that desire to go the extra mile. Close-up scrutiny is healthy!” It is going to be a stripped down kind of gig in a smaller venue. What challenges does that bring to a band like yourselves? NICKY: “Personally I find them very enjoyable but very scary. I think when we have played stadiums and arenas there is a kind of blindness to the whole mass thing that is less nerve-wracking, but when you are actually facing people close up and you can see the smiles on their faces it is a different story. If it works it is the most rewarding thing because you can see the enjoyment.” We are in a day and age where you cannot escape your past with You Tube and such sites. How scary is that for you in that sense? NICKY: “It is not that we are particularly controversial people anymore, but to think what you could get away with back in the day and it is impossible to do that now. I don’t mean that in any deviant way just natural life. It is harder to be private and guarded I think but we try our best.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/enter...#ixzz10U78cKZx __________________

For ale drinkers the Crown Posada is good but as frostystar has pointed out it's a steep climb back up to the venue.
The Bodega is a better bet, it's a lot closer and it too has an interesting interior. I love all the real ale discussion in this thread,it warms the cockles of my heart.
